Well, it ultimately depends on what you want your Articuno to be like in your team. Do you want your Articuno to be a bulky and annoying variant that can stall out your opponent's team, or do you want it to be a fast and strong pokemon that can take out several pokemon in PVP mode?

If you want your Articuno to be extremely bulky and be able to take a ton of hits, then I would recomment doing HP training and Special Defense training. You can do HP training at Route 14, in which you can defeat pokemon such as Loudred, Clefable, and Makuhita in order to get some HP EVs. You should also invest some of your Special Defense EVs, so start training on the flower patch in Route 10 in order to get more Special Defense. You should give your articuno moves such as Toxic or Protect in order to stall out an opponent's team.
